SEN. TOM COTTON SAYS ARAB STATES OFFERED TO JOIN FIGHT AGAINST IRAN
U.S. Senator Tom Cotton said Arab nations targeted by Iran have directly approached President Donald Trump and offered to participate in military operations against Tehran.
According to Cotton, the countries told Trump: “Give us the target data. We join the fight against Iran.”
The comments suggest that some U.S. partners in the region may be prepared to move beyond diplomatic efforts and take a more direct military role following Iranian attacks.
The reported position would mark a significant development in the regional conflict, potentially expanding the confrontation beyond direct U.S.-Iran hostilities and involving additional Arab states.
Cotton’s remarks come amid growing tensions across the Middle East, with the United States and its regional partners facing continued Iranian missile and drone threats.
If the Arab governments cited by Cotton formally enter the conflict, it could significantly alter the military and diplomatic dynamics of the region.
